According to the sign in front of the ruins:
The frail barracks are the so-called “peacetime” stores, installed behind the fortifications far from the fighting.
The reserve of ready-to-use gunpowder was stored there.
most of the stock of explosives was placed at the bottom of the galleries
underground, protected from any bombardment. These installations, like the fort of Villey-le-Sec, have never experienced the test of fire. Today, the underground galleries are used as a refuge for bats.
